Discovery of an isolated population of the dwarf tarantula <i>Homoeomma uruguayense</i> (Araneae, Theraphosidae) in central Argentina
The genus Homoeomma has thirteen species distributed in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay. In Argentina, two species are recorded, Homoeomma elegans in Misiones province and H. uruguayense in Buenos Aires, Entre Ríos and Santa Fe provinces. The objective of this work is to provide the fi...
